DATE OF PURCHASE SMELLED RUBBER ON THE DRIVERS FRONT WHEEL. TRUCK BOUNCES ALL OVER CONTINUES TO DO SO, THIS CAUSES POOR STEERING CONTROL AS WELL.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS OUT OF THIS TRUCK. ITSTARTED OFF BY HAVING A BAD IGNITION PEICE TO WHERE SOME DAYS IT WOULD START, SOME IT WOULD NOT. NEXT, THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKED AND FILLED UP MY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD ON A TRIP TO THE BEACH. THEN THE ENGINE BEGINS TO STALL. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS STALL AT THE SAME SPEED OR TEMP. OR ANYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TRIED FIXING IT, NOTHING HAPPENED SO I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN, THE STILL COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY INSTALLED A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE WHICH WAS SUPPOSE TO GIVE THE DEALER FEEDBACK ON THE PROBLEM, WHICH IT DID NOT.

WHENEVER VEHICLE RUNS OVER A BUMP OR A POTHOLE IT CAUSES REAR END TO KICK TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT. DEALER REPLACED FRONT AND REAR SHOCK, SOME IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE OVERSTEERS WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED LIKE DURING A TURN, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ONLY OCCUR WHEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP. ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *JB

ENGINE CONTROL ALLOWS RPM TO STICK ABOVE 2200 RPM WHEN DEPRESSING CLUTCH TO SHIFT. AFTER SHIFTING RPM WONT COME DOWN UNTIL CLUTCH DRAGS IT DOWN. THIS CAUSED WHEELS TO BREAK LOOSE ON SNOW RESULTING IN A BAD SKID IN THE MOUNTAINS. DEALER HAS HAD VEHICLE IN 5 TIMES TO FIX BUT CAN REPLICATE PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT WITH ABOUT ONE OCCURENCE PER DAY. OCCASSIONALLY IT WILL REPEAT 9 OR 10 TIMES IN A ROW. FACTORY ENGINEER PROMISED TO GET A RECORDING DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE THAT CAN BE CONNECTED AND STARTED WHEN PROBLEM IS PRESENT, BUT HAS NOT FOLLOWED THROUGH. WINTER IS COMING AND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM ON THE ICY MOUNTAIN ROADS I COMMUTE ON.*AK
